Picked this machine up locally in Norfolk VA off the local Craigslist. Was in decent shape, mostly surface rust and missing paint. Checked runout at .002. Branded as Wilton , Boice-Crane division. Motor is 3/4 HP, single phase, marked as Wilton but is made by Doerr. Has a 6" quill stroke and a Jacobs 633 chuck. From what I can tell, it looks to be about a 70's vintage but there is so little on these machines, its just a guess. Gave it a good cleanup, lubed and adjusted the VS drive and will move it along.
